distance = 500 feet
Since Δ VWX and Δ YZX are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
= 
completing the required values gives
=
( cross- multiply )
60l = 30 × 100 = 3000 ( divide both sides by 60 )
l = 500
distance across the swamp is 500 feet
Answer:
reflection over the x-axis and a vertical compression by a factor of 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The parent function is given as

The transformed graph has equation:

The factor of 8, indicates a vertical stretch.
The negative sign indicates a reflection in the x-axis.
Therefore the transformation is a reflection over the x-axis and a vertical compression by a factor of 8.
The area of the square will be 196cm².
<h3>How to calculate the area?</h3>
It should be noted that the perimeter of a square is the addition of all its sides. Therefore, the length of the side will be:
= 56/4
= 14
Therefore, the area of the figure will be:
= 14²
= 14 × 14
= 196cm²
